PROBLEM
Oracle's SQL utility, sqlplus, is proprietary and closed source. On *NIX
systems, it is not linked with GNU readline. So, using it in that
environment is quite hard -- unless you use rlwrap. It is trivial to
use rlwrap via an alias, but to get Django's manage.py dbshell to work
properly requires changes to the backend.
DESIRED BEHAVIOR
The Oracle backend.client should look for rlwrap, and wrap sqlplus in
rlwrap when rlwrap is available. If rlwrap is not available, then we
will assume that's what there is.
